Chapter 558: Do something for yourself (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!)
Shen Shixing was speechless by his good boy until he had nothing to say, because this time his son really hit the mark in advance.
Acknowledging that others would expel Lin Tailai from the capital was indeed a bad move.
Then Shen Yongmao repeated it again: "So father, don't think too much about useless things, let Lin Jiuyuan come back as soon as possible to clean up the situation!"
In Shen Yongmao's mind, this is the best way to break the situation.
Although his father was confused for a moment, Lin Tailai would not turn around and save him as long as he found his way back.
However, after hearing these words from the good old man, Shen Shixing suddenly realized something. After being stunned for a moment, he clapped his forehead with his hand and said, "I understand! That's it!"
Shen Yongmao was puzzled. What kind of style did his father have?
Shen Shixing explained a little: "The reason why the emperor treated me like this is to encourage Lin Tailai to return to Beijing!"
For the emperor, it was very simple to let Lin Tai return to Beijing. All he had to do was send an imperial edict of "reinstatement of official duties" to the Xuan Mansion.
But in doing so, it would appear that the emperor had done something wrong before, which was why the disaster was caused.
At the same time, the emperor needed Lin Tai to go back and forth to the capital to set the pace, so he adopted such a tortuous indirect method.
This means: If you, Shen Shixing, want to be stable, you should quickly summon Lin Tailai back.
The reasons are all ready-made, and there is a crisis for the backer and chief assistant!
After thinking about this, Shen Shixing could finally feel at ease.
As long as the emperor is not dissatisfied with him or wants to change his chief minister, he can rest assured for the time being.
It's not that he can't afford Shen Shixing, he has indeed had the idea of resigning many times before.
But he can't be dismissed from office because of the calamity, then wouldn't he become a traitor?
With this in mind, Shen Shixing told Shen Yongmao: "Write a letter to Li Tingji and ask the mission to return to Beijing immediately!
After all, Lin Tailai is the escort soldier of the mission, so he naturally wants to come back with the mission."
Shen Yongmaoque said: "Lin Jiuyuan said before that he doesn't need to take care of you, father. This can also be understood conversely, saying that he won't take care of you, father.
If his father still has such a superior mentality, Lin Jiuyuan will not come back easily.
No one understands Lin Jiuyuan better than me! As long as he stays at the border, he will definitely not be the one who is anxious!
So I suggest, father, that you show some real sincerity."
As soon as he said this, a director of the Ministry of Industry suddenly claimed that there was an urgent matter and requested to see Shen Shoufu immediately.
Neither father nor son knew what happened, so they asked the chief to come in and report.
I could only hear the person in charge saying: "The Ministry of Industry has recently been responsible for the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine. When the official left Xizhimen to go to the construction site, he found that Lin Jiuyuan was on duty at Xizhimen again!"
Shen Yongmao: ""
Damn it! Why did I get slapped in the face at the speed of light this time?
He had just vowed that Lin Tailai would not come back to Beijing easily, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Tailai landed at Xizhimen.
Also, I was helping to bargain with my father, Lin Jiuyuan, why did you come back?
After Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment, he asked Hao Daer: "You just said that no one understands Lin Jiuyuan better than you?"
Shen Yongmao argued: "This must be a coincidence! The disaster started to be discussed in the court for several days, how could it spread to the border so quickly?
Therefore, Lin Tai's return to Beijing must be accidental and has nothing to do with the disaster controversy."
Shen Shixing scolded: "Think about it with your brain, one of the places where the star fall occurred is in Xuanfu!
And Lin Tailai was also in the Xuan Mansion. Wouldn't he be able to see the scene with his eyes? He also needed to know the court discussion to know that a disaster had occurred?
Lin Tailai must have left Xuanfu and returned to Beijing after witnessing the falling star!"
Shen Yongmao explained: "That was because Lin Jiuyuan was extremely sober and was afraid that the emperor and the court would think that he was taking advantage of the disaster, so he actively returned."
Shen Shixing: ""
I have love in your heart. Whatever Lin Tailai does is always right?
Shen Yongmao sighed again: "But father, don't you think that in this case, you have lost even the role of summoning Lin Tai back to Beijing? You are considered marginalized this time!"
Shen Shixing didn't know whether it was because of his tough words or for some reason, but he retorted: "Being marginalized is a good thing."
Then Shen Yongmao was too lazy to continue arguing with his father, so he hurriedly left the Shen Mansion and informed the news agency comrades of Lin Tailai's return.
Under the Xizhimen city wall, Mr. Pang looked at Lin Tailai, his heart trembled, and he stammered: "Why are you back now?"
Since Lin Tailai left last time, Boss Pang, who had not paid much attention to the political situation of the court in the past thirty years, suddenly began to care about politics.
Just recently, in order to build the Martyrs' Shrine, officials often come in and out of Xizhimen, so Mr. Pang Ba has a channel to collect information.
Therefore, Mr. Pang knew that a disaster had occurred and the court had entered a very sensitive period.
Then when I opened my eyes after taking a nap today, I found Lin Tailai already standing in front of me.
To come back so quickly during a sensitive period is obviously because the person who came is not good, and the good person will not come!
Lin Tailai replied matter-of-factly: "I was transferred from Xizhimen. If I don't go back to Xizhimen, where can I go back?"
There were no formalities when he came back, so Mr. Pang said doubtfully: "Didn't you go with the envoy? What about the envoy?"
Lin Tailai replied: "I don't know either. The mission may still be in the border town, maybe on its way back."
Mr. Pang was shocked! Isn't this kind of behavior a typical deserter?
It is a crime for soldiers to flee from the border town back to the capital privately! Especially since you, Lin Tailai, are a criminal who was exiled from the army, it is even more of a crime!
"What? You want to report me?" Lin Tailai asked with squinting eyes.
Mr. Pang: ""
How can you still be so confident in broad daylight?
Even if he didn't dare to report it, many people must have seen people coming and going at the city gate, especially your appearance, Lin Tailai, is so eye-catching.
It wouldn’t be surprising at all if the Jinyiwei Military Academy appears next moment to capture the deserters!
He won't be found guilty of covering up, right? Pang Ba always thought worriedly.
But contrary to Mr. Pang's imagination, after Lin Tailai escaped, there was no turmoil in Xizhimen, and it was actually calm.
This made it difficult for Mr. Pang to understand. Could it be that all the officials in the capital were blind?
Anyway, Lin Tailai was at Xizhimen, but everyone seemed to be pretending not to see him.
Then Mr. Pang saw Lin Tailai sitting at the foot of the city wall, sighing and frowning.
As he walked closer, he heard Lin Tai talking to himself again: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Mr. Pang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it a good thing that no one will catch you, a deserter?"
But you are still sitting here worrying, is there something wrong in your heart?
Lin Tailai sighed: "I thought there would be a decree to reinstate the official. Otherwise, why would I actively return to Beijing?"
Mr. Pang made a very shrewd analysis and said: "This shows that the emperor has a strong opinion of you."
??????55.??????
Lin Tailai said angrily: "The power of God is unpredictable, you know nothing!"
Even if others have become blind and deaf, Lin Tailai is not the only one who understands the current situation clearly.
Since the emperor did not reinstate his official position, he must have meant to let him, Lin Tailai, work hard first and then exchange for fame and fortune!
The core issue at present is that the emperor hopes that he, Lin Tailai, can use his expertise to create topics and guide public opinion, and shoulder all the responsibilities for the disaster.
We must let the world know that the disaster occurred because the courtiers expelled Lin Tailai, not because the emperor was immoral.
But this view is a bit far-fetched in the world's perception. Even though Lin Tailai is a Nine-Yuan True Immortal, compared with the True Dragon Emperor, the weight is still not worth it. It is hard to say whether it is worth alarming the heavens.
Therefore, the emperor still needs to further strengthen the guidance of public opinion. This is the emperor's current expectations for Lin Tailai.
There is no problem in being reinstated or even promoted, but you must work hard first and see the results.
The above was the emperor's idea, and Lin Tailai knew it very well.
But he also has difficulties because he is not easy to leave immediately.
He can't personally go into battle and say that the celestial phenomenon should be with me, Lin Tailai! Usually those who preach like this are preparing to rebel.
Just like in a lawsuit, the witness must be a third party, and you cannot testify for yourself.
So Lin Tailai's current sorrow lies here.
I originally hoped that if I paraded around Xizhimen, someone would come to report and impeach me for deserting the army, and then take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, no one paid attention to me!
Let the ministers prove that the disaster was caused by themselves. If they cannot prove it, they will not be reinstated. It must be said that Emperor Wanli also learned one-tenth of the essence of his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing.
However, when faced with difficult problems assigned by leaders, how to use formalistic means to fool them is a required course for bureaucrats.
Since we can't solve the problem, we can only rely on fooling around.
Thinking of this, Lin Tailai said to Boss Pang again: "Old Pang, the future of Ming Dynasty depends on you!"
Mr. Pang shivered all over. He would rather hear himself being called a waste than hear the word "Old Pang".
In the Wenyuan Pavilion of the inner court, the two Wang Ge Lao were sitting in the city of sleepiness, restless. Now this Pavilion Lao is too difficult to serve.
Could it be that the two pavilion elders could still tell the emperor that the disaster was caused by the demotion of Lin Tailai?
Isn’t this a slap in the face? The source of Lin Tailai’s relegation was originally them!
But it was hard for them to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have lost your moral character." After all, the emperor had just comforted them, and doing so would be tantamount to directly contradicting the emperor, which could not be justified in terms of human relations.
They had reason to suspect that this situation was caused intentionally by the emperor.
At least at the cabinet level, silence has been achieved, and Chief Minister Shen, who is qualified to beep a few words, is still resting at home.
Suddenly, I saw a man from the middle school room running into the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion with a memorial in his arms.
One look at this posture and knew that there must be an important memorial coming in, and most of it would be a troublesome one.
After the two princes and elders failed to show humility to each other, they placed the memorial on the table in the middle and enjoyed it together.
Be sure to read the header of the main text first. The line reads "I will send Lin Tailai, the criminal of Xizhimen, to death."
Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated that all soldiers and civilians in the world could submit letters to the General Affairs Department.
So the appearance of the memorial by Lin Tailai, a disciple of Xizhimen, is not unreasonable, right?
After the two Wangge elders looked at each other, they continued to look down. But after reading it, the two Wangge elders were shocked!
Then they subconsciously looked at the memorial again and raised their heads. Yes, this is Lin Tailai's memorial!
Wang Xijue immediately put the memorial together and said without hesitation: "We can't control it! Send it directly to the emperor!"
At this time, Emperor Wanli was sitting on the royal boat in Taiye Pond in Xiyuan, admiring the watery garden scenery in spring.
It seems that being far away from the shore and hiding in the royal boat can temporarily forget the pile of "advice" sent to me every day, and I don't know when it will end.
Even though as the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, he has the power of life and death, he cannot directly influence the public opinion outside.
Grandpa Jiajing’s method is to get one faction to fight against another, and he can play superbly. Why can’t he play well?
A eunuch reminded Emperor Wanli: "Zhang Cheng, the chief seal of the Superintendent of Ceremonies, is waving from the shore. It seems there is something urgent."
Emperor Wanli said helplessly: "Draw to the shore and let him come up!"
He knew that Zhang Cheng would definitely bring troubles, but if it wasn't a major matter, Zhang Cheng wouldn't come over temporarily.
After Zhang Cheng got on the imperial boat, he directly said: "Lin Tai came to Zhang Shu!"
Emperor Wanli looked at the White Tower in the distance and said casually: "I'm too lazy to read it, just read it!"
Zhang Cheng then looked at the content and read, "Assign Lin Tailai, the criminal of Xizhimen, to his majesty Zhang Shengde. Please be careful about sleeping and sleeping, save on medicine and bait, stay away from sounds and sex, use seductions within the screen, watch the court more often, establish the East Palace, and hold a sutra banquet."
"
The eunuchs accompanying Emperor Wanli were all shocked!
Lin Tailai actually received such a memorial that "offends his words"! It's really shocking!
I also came up with nine three-character phrases, each word is like stabbing the emperor with a knife!
These eunuchs knew what the emperor expected from Lin Tailai, so Lin Tailai's memorial was tantamount to a stab in the emperor's back!
At this time, everyone quickly lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to look at the emperor's face!
Emperor Wanli had a fat face and was very ferocious. He shouted sternly: "Damn Lin Tailai! Damn it!"
He has always been very tolerant towards Lin Tailai. Last time, Lin Tailai gang-banged the eunuchs in the palace and even invited the emperor's eldest son in person. In the end, he just treated him lightly without any further investigation!
But after many times of being tolerant and indulgent, what you got in exchange was this kind of memorial?
There are many ministers who have written memorials with this kind of content, and most of them are just bored, but Lin Tailai aroused huge anger!
The expectation for you, Lin Tailai, is to bear the disaster and relieve the king's worries, but you, Lin Tailai, imitate those who seek fame and reputation, and write this kind of memorial that directly invites fame!
Isn’t your reputation, Lin Tailai, not famous enough? Isn’t it possible that you, Lin Tailai, are so greedy?
Emperor Wanli shouted again: "Send the order to Sun Xian! Ask Lin Tailai immediately!"
Let him explain why he was so mad that he wrote such a memorial to slander your father!"
Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, quickly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down for now! If you question Lin Tai like this, I'm afraid there will be fierce public opinion outside and it will be very annoying!"
Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Can Lin Tailai be allowed to act so wantonly?"
Zhang Cheng added: "There is also a memorial here, your Majesty might as well read it first!
The gatekeeper of Xizhimen, General Shang Shu, reported Lin Tailai for fleeing from the border area back to the capital without authorization, committing a serious crime of desertion!
If you want to take down Lin Tai and punish him, this crime is enough, and the facts are there!"
